Unable To Open My Eyes
Behind closed doors lurks a different monster
Not the one that’s portrayed on every livestream
Playing off this charade that’s been getting over
Moving forward with the logistics of the scheme
Heartless in the belief of satisfying his shallow ego
We’re all human pawns on a maniacal chessboard
Plotting how to conquer and slay every single rival
Every attempt at peace will be maliciously ignored
Loyalty is rewarded while the insubordinate suffer
Transparent souls are met with an untimely demise
Brutal stench of death abominates a...

Time Has Come Today
Synchronize your tiny minds, so you'll catch what I say
spread some crumbs on your path, so you won't lose your way
sunset sinks beneath the hill, the end of another day
the time has come for sleep again, i turn my head away
The darkness falls around me
once again, it has found me
i need to focus within me
the time has come to dream
I must hang tightly to the rope or I'll fall 10,000 feet
They give me a warning one more time, before I awake from sleep
I feel the shadow coming near, I feel the searing heat
I know if I don't...
spread some crumbs on your path, so you won't lose your way
sunset sinks beneath the hill, the end of another day

the time has come to dream
I must hang tightly to the rope or I'll fall 10,000 feet
They give me a warning one more time, before I awake from sleep

alone with the dark
i lie awake & silently scream at night
the dark crowds in
with violent whispers
i see my flaws
they converge on me
& surround my trembling soul
they're the monsters
i carry in the day
concealed under
well applied makeup
& my smiling face
if people looked closer
they would see
the cracks in my veneer
i've slipped sideways
in my thoughts
the fall is coming
i feel it
i walk a fine line

habits die harder in nightmares
It was like one of those
cigarette dreams where you smoke
(or drink or break your
sobriety)
and get pissed at
yourself
but do it anyway
Filthy habits always seem
to die
harder in dreams
So it was with us
last night
We stood on
opposite sides
of a cursed door
foreheads pressed
eyes closed
palms flat
as if we could
transmogrify
the sick regret
to anything

A Disturbed Mind
WHO really knows what goes on inside some people's mind, thoughts of them fighting and killing at well against imagines, that only they see in the dark deepness of insanity. For it's true as hell has finally broken wide open, by the actions of some people's, bringing death and destruction, that is seen in todays society. For sure society has really grown cold as ice, with some people's filled with rage and anger that you take a chance, to even go outside, 🤨 to catch a bus or ride on a train or going for a quiet walk, just to breathe and feel the sun upon your s of skin and face....

brace for it
21 of 30
words finally recede
like fog rolling across the water
as sun tickles the surface
glimmering flickers of hope
tugging at shallow breaths
teasing...
...more...
I know you've got it in you
come on
breathe deeper
fill those aching lungs
& get up
!!
the pillow lies rumpled & abandoned
sheets cooling
where the shape of me still lies
comfort left behind
it's the start that's the hardest
facing the unknown
...is a daily occurrence
some days... ...

Adrenaline
it started in 2013
seven weeks of
horrible stress
painful losses
no deep sleep
a broken doll
functioning on
just adrenaline
trying to survive
feeling helpless
utterly restless
she didn't fade
this razor blade
got more powers
as years went by
she causes me to
wake up at night
i'm tired & wired
need some sleep
i'm done with this
exhausting tornado
fucking adrenal fatigue

Lost Traveler
Let's pretend
I traveled over a bend
I went back in time
For no reason or rhyme
To be caught and tried
For someone else's lie
My sentence was death
Uttered under someone's breath
I will not go easy into the night
Once the moon is full I will see the whole site
There are men, women, children and aged souls
All out to see the penalty dolled
I'll be the last to go
Making me witness this horrible show
One was...
I traveled over a bend
I went back in time
For no reason or rhyme

For someone else's lie
My sentence was death

Dreaming of Home
I woke up beside you, in a house that we own,
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.
The dream was so vivid, the feeling so raw;
an aching realization I’d been here before.
No one to guide me, found my way on my own,
following my instincts, somehow I knew the road.
I set out across the water, though I couldn’t see the way;
unseen creatures threatening, but I kept the fears at bay.
When “HOME” finally appeared as if out of thin air,
I could tell everybody was already there.
They’d gone on without me, not thinking to wait, ...
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.

Bibi and Biden
The conservative hand has made it clear,
with Genocide Joe and Genocide Jew,
that their bombs don't give a shit who is who
in any young family fleeing in fear.
But Bibi and Biden are not the same.
One loves the bombs much more than the other,
to murder folks with an Arabic name
as Semite brother on Semite brother!
No longer caring when targets are dead
and by detonations reduced to paste
not even considered medical waste
but a rusty stain, (where once was a head),
provided by some weapon crafty Yanks... ...

In the land of freedom
you're free to live or,
even better, leave or let
yourself be sent away.
Better not let yourself be bold.
Better not let yourself be cold.
Better not let yourself be in the fold.
Believe in yourself in being gold.
Better not let yourself be in hold.
Better not let yourself set in as mold.
Better not let yourself be sold.
Don't...
Believe what you've always been told.
In the land of freedom
you're just an alien that will
never reach the point of...
